Christian Rodriguez vs Melquizael Costa Prediction
Christian Rodriguez has adapted to life in the UFC pretty seamlessly and he comes into this fight at UFC on ESPN 64 having won five of his last six fights in the Octagon. The 27-year-old have beaten some talented opponents such as Raul Rosas Jr and he comes off a unanimous decision victory over Austin Bashi. The victory over Bashi came less than three months ago and this will be his fourth fight in just over a year. He will be hoping that the activity and momentum counts for something as he faces Melquizael Costa.
The Brazilian comes into this fight just five weeks after his last fight as he pulled off a submission win over Andre Fili at UFC Fight Night 252 last month. Costa is another hugely active fighter and he has had 29 professional MMA fights at the age of just 28.
It is Costa who has been fighting at higher level for quite some time but Rodriguez should not be underestimated in this fight. We really like Rodriguez but we have to lean towards Costa in this fight as we just feel like he has more routes to victory. Either way, this is a fight that should not be missed.
Prediction: Melquizael Costa to win
